This year, I’d like to use my birthday to motivate people to donate blood. There is currently a critical need for blood donors in the U.S. Every day, blood donors help patients of all ages: accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and those battling cancer. Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood; and approximately 1 in 7 people entering a hospital need blood. Donating is a free, simple and effective way to help people and possibly even save lives.
Challenge your friends (or anyone for that matter) to a friendly competition! Who will win the battle to do the most social good for your community?
Put your virtual blood drive campaign against one or even multiple other campaigns to see who can recruit more blood donors for the American Red Cross.
